Silent Letters
There's one thing that I find so amusing
About this language that we're using
Others may find it so confusing - it's silent letters
The following letters should be seen, not heard
To non-native speakers, this may seem absurd
So use these tips to help you pronounce these words with silent letters
B is silent when it follows an M
G and K are silent followed by an N
G and H you don't hear before a T
And L is silent before F, M, K, D
See, it's easy
It makes total sense
For PSYCH and PNEU, you remove the P
U is gone between a vowel and a G
WH as in 'where did the H go?'
I don't know where it went
Why was it there in the first place?
So you may wonder why we keep them around
When these letters don't even make a sound

Listen closely to the reason I found for the silent letters
The magic E when it ends a word
Ensures that a long vowel sound is heard
Some letters help to emphasize
The syllable that we should prioritize
And finally some other letters stay due to spellings retained,
So the origins of the words can be ascertained
So with all this in mind
Let's try to pronounce the following words
So some may say my list is not comprehensive
That's true, I'm not gonna get defensive
Rules and exceptions are quite extensive
With silent letters
And although we make it so complicated
Their importance can't be overstated
I really wish they were appreciated
The silent letters
